LONG JOURNEY HOME FOR FLEXIBLE STRING ENSEMBLE SO3 SC/PTS

Long Journey Home, by Susan H. Day, evokes the emotions one might have as they make their way home, with feelings of sadness, uncertainty, steadiness, hope, and triumph as the music moves between minor and major. Everyone gets to play melody lines, with pizzicato and divisi, shifting in violin 1, and plenty of opportunities for expressive playing and legato bow strokes. (3:15)
